President OF the Board of Health
fEor Tho Diapatch

lfOT the DirpdDcu.J
Tomorrow evening the Board OF
Aldermen will be called upon to act
upon the proposition of the Common
Council TO increase the salary of the
president of the Board of Health from
$500 to 81 200. They ought to vote
the increase unanimously. Surely the
head Of department ought to have as
much pay as a clerk. He must be a
physician. He must give his whole
time TO the positon-his duties will let
him off with nothing less. He has
hundreds and thousands of people to
deal with, and in cases of epidemic he
puts his life in daily peril. always
considered the pay attached to this of
flee as unworthy Of the city. Perhaps
it was sufficient when it was fixed.
Then the incumbent had some leisure
hours, but in late years the duties OF
the Office have been multiplied-multi-
Piled not only by the growth of tine
city, but by the placing OF new respon-
sibilities upon the Board, and now il
takes all the presidents time. So LET
the Board correct the injustice and
vote the increase. Monroe WARD!

into the air, prepsra DRY for somer-

full movement of his hand, aided in
the turn and landed them safely on
